friend of mine, living four miles south of
Abilene told me what he had lately witnessed.
He said he was riding along on a prairie and
saw prairie dog within few feet of him,
which refused to scamper to his hole, as
prairle dogs usually do when approached by
man; on the contrary, he sat as II transiXed
to the spot, though making constant ner

away. My friend thought this WAS strange,
and while considering the spectacle he pres

some bushes. his head uplifted, about six or
seven feet from the dog, which still needed

He dismounted, took the dog by the head and
thrust him of, when the snake, which had up

swelled with rage aud began sounding his
rsttles The prairie dog for some time seemed
benumbed, hardly capable of motion, but
grew better and finally got into his hole. My
friend then KILLED the RATHER. Now, was this
a case of charming? II not, what was it?

as dead. What say the scientists?
And TO one who is fsmiliar with the eyes
OF rattlesnakes il does not seem unreasonable
that they should have such power. If you
will examine the eyes of one when he is cold
in death, you will perceive that it has an ex-
tremely malignant and terrible expression.
When he is alive aud excited know OF moth
